Star Wars: The Clone Wars, "Sphere of Influence" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New episode out now! We take a semi-detour to a galaxy far, far away with the season three episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars , “Sphere of Influence”. We debate the role of the Jedi within the Republic and talk about how they serve as diplomats, law enforcement, security, advisors, monks, or investigators whenever the need arises.

We also loved the specificity of
